PERMANENT WAVE PROTECTOR F'led Oct. 6, T936 ATTORNEY yPatented Sept. 6,

UNITE-o STATES PATENT oFF-ICE'- PERMANENT WAVE PROTECTOR Morris Krepstman, New York, N. Y.

Application October 6,

2 Claims.

One of the objects of my invention is the provision of a permanent wave guard which may be conveniently folded into a small compass, so as to be suitably carried by ladies in their handbags or the like, and which can easily be slipped on and off the head and expediently be worn While the wearer rests.

My invention has for its objects to provide a permanent wave protector including a webbing covering part of the face with which a netting for protecting the permanent. wave is connected and an extra piece of fabric for covering the forehead to take out wrinkles, while a ribbon of special or peculiar construction at the rear of the netting securely draws the lower end thereof together to cover the permanent wave and is provided with oppositely disposed loops facilitating the closure and opening of the netting.

These and other objects and advantages of my invention will become more fully known as the description thereof proceeds, and will then be specifically defined in the appendedl claims.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a protector for permanent waves, constructed according to my invention.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof.

Fig. 3 is a rear view of the protector, closed.

Fig. 4 is a similar view as Figure 3, with the netting open.

Fig. 5 illustrates the specific construction of the closure for the rear part of the protector netting.

As illustrated, the protector consists of a Webbing of any suitable fabric, preferably made in one piece and surounding part of the pate, the cheeks, and chin, as indicated at 20, as well as a generous part of the neck or throat, as indicated at 2|. To the front edge of the web I9 at the upper part thereof, a separate or extra piece of fabric 22 is attached to cover the forehead for the purpose of taking wrinkles out of the same.

To the rear edge of the webbing I9 a netting 23, either made in one. piece or made in parts connected by seams or trimmings 24 is attached at its inner edge and extends down to that point of the webbing at which the neck piece 2| begins.

This netting made of any suitable material has attached at its lower end a pair of bands or ribbons 25, 26, the lower one, 26 adapted to be folded upon the upper one, 25, both being covered by the upturned lowerl edge of the fabric 23 which is then stitched onto the fabric 23, along av line shown in broken parts at 21.

A loop 28 is secured or attached to one end of 1936, Serial No. 104,164

the band 25 while its other end is extended beyond the fabric 23 of the netting. Another loop 29 is attached or secured to the band 26 at the edge of the fabric oppositely disposed to loop 28, while the other end of band 26 is extended beyond the fabric 23. v f

In use, when the webbing is attached to the head it will well cover the cheeks, part of the pate of the head, the chin and the neck of the wearer and will tend to eliminate wrinkles from these parts, while the forehead covering piece of fabric will eliminate wrinkles forming at that part, and the webbing I9 will further tend to hold the ears close to the head and eliminate ears standing off the head too far and generally also tend to shape the ears. When the ribbons are operated by a pull at both loops in opposite directions, they will draw the fabric of the netting together at the lower ends thereof so that it will securely and entirely cover the permanent wave when the ribbons 28, 29 are knotted into a suitable knot, while a pull exerted on the loops in the opposite direction after the loosening of the knot Will draw the lower end of the netting into the position shown in Figure 7, open to allow a convenient removal o-f the same, the webbing and the forehead cover.

It will be understood that I have disclosed as examples some of the forms of my invention., but that I do not Wish to limit myself to the specific forms illustrated and described and that I may make such changes in the practical construction of my protector as come Within the scope of the appended claims without departure from the spirit of my invention and the principles involved.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a permanent wave protector including a netting to cover the permanent wave, securedV at its upper end and loosely hanging down with its lower end, a band secured at one end to said netting and extending with its other end beyond the edges of said netting, another band spaced from said first named band also secured at one end to sa1d netting and extending with its other end beyondl the edge of said netting, said bands adapted to be folded one against the other to be covered by the lower marginal edge of the netting when folded and stitched to the main part of the netting and a loop attached to one band at one end thereof, and another loop attached to the other band at the end of same opp-ositely disposed to the loop on the other band.

2. In a permanent wave protector as described,

10 loops attached tosaid bands at oppositely disposed ends thereof, said loops when pulled in opposite directions drawing the lower edge of the netting firmly against the nape for the protection of the permanent wave when the bands are knotted, while a pull on said loops in the opposite direction after untying the knot will loosen the netting and thus allow aready removal of the same without disturbance of the permanent Wave.
